Question

According to the United States Census Bureau, the state of Texas had a population of 16,986,510 in 1990. Census data shows that in 2000, the population of Texas was 20,851,820. Find the percent of change.​

Answer 1

22.7551745473%

Explanation:

I could be very wrong but to find the percentage of change you have to divide the increase by the original number, and then multiply it by 100.

20851820-16986510=3865310

3865310/16986510=0.22755174547

0.22755174547*100=22.755174547

This answer can then be rounded up to 23%
